i’ve been digging on google most of the day trying to find the holy  
grail of check box resources, but have yet to find it. I’m trying to  
create a form with multiple checkboxes, and when the user submits the  
form, have the values captured. i’m probably making this much more  
difficult than it needs to be, and would appreciate any guidance,  
resources, or any ideas.
